Best new ~20x80's for $300-$400?
      07/03/09 01:48 AM

While I enjoy the views through my Zhumell 20x80 binoculars, I am thinking I might want to upgrade to a nicer pair of 20x80's. I have looked at Oberwerks and Garretts, Celestron, etc, but can't clearly determine a higher quality binocular in the 20x80 range. What are the best medium size binoculars to buy in the 3-400 dollar range? Would the Garrett Signature/Oberwerk Ultra 15x70's be the best mid size binocular in that price range? My only requirements for a set of mid size binoculars would be atleast a 60 deg AFOV, size and weight really doesn't matter because they would be mounted anyway.
